The Darkness and the Quiet
the darkness and the quiet
both wear white cowboy hats when merged
it takes me back to two gallons of oreo ice cream and my early 30s
things were still cheap then
the music was still good
i lived for that streetlight and a phone call from her
convenience used to me my mistress
she pulled me in with her many a unpredictable gifts
the darkness and the quiet
together they brought about peace and never started a riot
it takes me back to galley kitchen reflections and my favorite microwave oven
things were still affordable then
the music was still enjoyable
i lived for the smile on the face of a full moon and a phone call from her
now here i am....in a pandora box time machine....
looking forward to the residence inn in the center of the time warp
